Field(s) of activity for the internship
Topic: EGNOS System Performance Analysis Environment – Development of a new module for analysis results publication
The EGNOS System analysis environment is composed of a set of performance tools, processing huge volume of data and producing near-real time analysis and Off line analysis.

The objective of this new module is to provide near real time capability to interface with existing analysis environment, to select and process existing analysis results, to display, in near real time, dedicated web pages for internal publication with an appropriate security and access control.
More specifically the tasks to achieve this objective will be:
- To collect the user needs for the specification of the tool for an internal publication inside the Division/Department
- To operate the analysis and comparison tools to get familiarized with the analysis outputs and their Interfaces Control Documents
- To define the development approach
- To implement and test the internal publication using real data from the EGNOS System Performance Analysis environment
